I would like to rebase dev over orig branch, so I have the following result:
A---B---C---D---E---F

I tried this:
$ git checkout orig
$ git rebase --root -v dev

fatal: ambiguous argument '': unknown revision or path not in the working
tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
Switched to branch 'dev'
Note: checking out '9ab1c4999ca54f068a04fe116f23676ba9388ed7'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
HEAD is now at 9ab1c49...

Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/dev.
The result is:
A---B---C orig
D---E---F dev
Another way:
$ git rebase -v --onto orig --root dev

Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: E
Applying: F
The result is:
A---B---C orig
\
E---F dev
Still missing the "D" root of dev.
What I do wrong?
Thanks,
Konrad
